Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method of operating an actuator defined according to the preamble of claim 1. It also relates to a device for carrying out such a method.
  • Such actuators are used to maneuver, thanks to the mechanical energy provided by the motor, movable elements closing, occultation or sun protection. A user can control the movements of this element by pressing on control buttons of the control box.
  • EP 0 822 315 a device for controlling the supply of an asynchronous electric motor in which a short-circuiting of the phase lines allowing the rotation of the motor in a first direction and in a second direction by simultaneous pressing on keys of motor rotation control in the first direction and in the second direction places a control unit in a configuration mode.
  • a device for controlling the supply of an asynchronous electric motor in which a short-circuiting of the phase lines allowing the rotation of the motor in a first direction and in a second direction by simultaneous pressing on keys of motor rotation control in the first direction and in the second direction places a control unit in a configuration mode.
  • Such a device can work with certain types of control boxes only. In particular, this device can not operate with fixed or momentary position inverting control units with mechanical exclusion.
  • Patent is known US 6,078,159 a device for operating a closure element.
  • the device comprises a control box provided with two buttons respectively for controlling the movements of a movable element in a first direction and in a second direction.
  • To place this device in a configuration mode it is necessary to actuate at least two times one or the other of the keys in a predefined time range and less than the duration of actuation allowing the control of the movement of the mobile element. So when you want to control the displacement of the element mobile, it is necessary to operate the control key for a duration longer than that of the predefined time range.
  • This kind of procedure allowing the passage of the device in a configuration mode is particularly difficult when the control box is a fixed position inverter.
  • Patent is also known FR 2 654 229 , a method of controlling a motor.
  • a simultaneous press for more than four seconds on the keys controlling the rotation of the motor in the two opposite directions is interpreted as an order to put in configuration mode.
  • a first step consists in not taking into account the motor control commands.
  • This device can not operate with fixed or momentary position inverting control units with mechanical exclusion.
  • Patent is also known EP 0 426 577 , a method of controlling a motor.
  • a long-term simultaneous press for more than four seconds on the keys controlling the rotation of the motor in the two opposite directions is interpreted as a setting order in configuration mode.
  • the object of the invention is to implement a method of operating an actuator providing improvements to the known methods of the prior art and overcoming the drawbacks mentioned above.
  • the operating method according to the invention can easily be implemented by various control devices and, in particular, by those comprising a mechanical exclusion control box.
  • existing installations can be equipped with new closure devices without the need to replace old control units.
  • the operating method according to the invention is characterized by the characterizing part of claim 1.
  • the device according to the invention is defined by the independent claim 10.
  • the figure 1 is a diagram of an actuator for driving a closure element, occultation or sun protection.
  • the Figures 2 to 5 are timing diagrams explaining the different interpretations that can be made of pressing a control key of a device implementing the method according to the invention.
  • FIGS. 6a and 6b are flowcharts of a procedure for adjusting the direction of rotation of the motor generated by a control command.
  • the figure 7 is a flow chart of a procedure for defining an end position.
  • the installation 1 represented at figure 1 comprises an actuator 10 for the operation of a movable element 7 closing, occultation or sun protection such as for example a shutter, a door or a blind, or any type of mobile screen.
  • This actuator 10 is powered by the electrical energy distribution network 5. It is connected to a user interface called control box 2. It is also noteworthy that the network 5 can supply the actuator via the control box, as described for example in the patent EP 0 822 315 .
  • the housing 2 comprises different keys. It comprises, in particular, a key 3b allowing the user to control, by its actuation, an action of opening (or winding) of the mobile element 7 and a key 3a allowing the user to control, by its actuation, a closing (or unwinding) action of the movable element 7.
  • the actuator 10 comprises a motor 6 and an electronic unit 4 for controlling the power supply of this motor.
  • the electronic unit 4 comprises in particular a logic processing unit such as a microcontroller for receiving via an interface the electrical signals emitted by the control box and to interpret them. It also includes memories for example rewritable type memories for storing for example values representative of the end positions of the moving element and a value associating a direction of rotation of the motor to each of the keys 3a and 3b. It also includes counters and memories for storing different delay values, these delays being triggered as a result of actions on the keys 3a and 3b and / or subsequent to the expiry of other delays.
  • the electronic unit further comprises power components for powering the motor. It includes switches controlled by the electronic unit and, depending on the type of motor used, it includes a voltage converter.
  • the motor 6 allows the driving of the mobile element 7. It is thus kinematically linked to it either directly or through a gearbox.
  • a pressing of the control key 3a or of the control key 3b for a duration greater than the duration t1 of a delay T1 triggers the switching of a relay supplying the motor and, consequently, the rotation thereof in the direction associated with the control key that has been pressed.
  • Timer T1 is triggered as soon as the control button is pressed. It is represented by a bold line delimited by a rhombus of start of delay and a diamond of end of delay.
  • the relay returns to its initial state, cutting off the power supply to the motor as soon as the key is released.
  • pressing the key for a duration less than the duration t1 of the timer T1 triggers as soon as the key is released a timer T2 called inhibition start.
  • the electronic unit is inhibited, that is to say that the supports on the various control buttons of the control box do not allow to control the rotation of the motor. It is necessary to wait for the end of the inhibition period to be able again to control the rotation of the motor by a pressing on one of the control keys.
  • the expiry of timer T2 triggers the expiry of the inhibition period, if one of the control keys is not pressed during this time delay. However, a new pressing of one of the control keys before expiry of the timer T2 prolongs the muting period and simultaneously triggers a timer T3 of a duration t3 and a timer T4 of a duration t4. If the key is pressed for a duration shorter than the duration t3 or greater than the duration t4, the inhibition period ends when the key is released. order as shown in figures 3 and 4 . On the other hand, as shown in figure 5 if the key is depressed for a duration greater than the duration t3 and shorter than the duration t4, the release of the control key triggers a new timer T2 during which the inhibition period is prolonged.
  • timers are used: a timer T1 to discriminate a short press of a prolonged press, a timer T2 of waiting and of inhibition, delays T3 and T4 of calibration of the validation supports.
  • configuration commands are issued and they cause configuration operations that are performed in the actuator.
  • it can be a long-term recording of an operating parameter of the actuator, such as the value representative of an end position or the relation between the control keys and the directions of the actuator. movement of the actuator.
  • the inhibit state is prolonged as long as the timers are relayed to each other. As soon as the inhibition period has elapsed, the possibly active delays are canceled and a new pressing of a key longer than the duration t1 causes the activation of the motor.
  • This first embodiment is more particularly intended for actuators whose electronic control unit is permanently powered. If this is not the case (for example when the actuator is powered via the control box), provision can be made for standby power of the electronic unit being performed for example by discharging a capacitor as a result of a particular command. It can then be expected to impose a movement of a few seconds before any very brief support, in order to charge the power capacitor.
  • a second embodiment of the operating method of the actuator is more particularly intended for actuators whose electronic unit is not permanently powered but may possibly be suitable for other actuators.
  • the first embodiment is not suitable for this type of actuator since the electronic unit can not measure the times during which it is not powered.
  • This second embodiment therefore provides that the inhibition concerns at least the first command according to a particular action.
  • Each particular action causes the setting of a counter to zero and each new pressing on one of the control keys, whose duration is between the periods t3 and t4, causes the incrementation of this counter.
  • the end of the muting period is triggered when the counter reaches a predefined value.
  • the supports allowing the incrementation of the counters and / or the extension of the inhibition period, said validation supports are calibrated, that is to say that their duration must be between the duration t3. and the duration t4 as schematically figures 3 , 4 and 5 . In this way, the validation support sequences are very precise and will be difficult to reproduce in an untimely manner.
  • the particular action can be a press on one of the control keys of a duration less than the duration t1 beyond which a command order of the engine is triggered.
  • This particular action could also be a power up of the actuator or a double action type pressing on the control keys simultaneously.
  • a short inhibition period in which do not may take place only part of confirmation sequence.
  • a part of the validation sequence correctly executed in the time range can then trigger an extension of the inhibition period (a timer can be reset or a counter can be incremented).
  • Each successful validation support can reset the muting period until the last support of the configuration validation sequence.
  • the first inhibition period In order to avoid a blocking caused by a sudden inadvertent press and during which it is not possible to control the actuator, it is possible to choose, in the first inhibition period, to inhibit only one direction rotation, for example that corresponding to the control key on which was made a brief support with special support value. This avoids blocking the motor control in the case where the user performs a brief error by one direction while he wants to rotate the motor of the actuator in the other way.
  • the inhibition delay is then cleared if the first press during the inhibition period is a pressing on the key controlling the rotation of the motor in the opposite direction to the direction controlled by the key on which the particular support was exerted.
  • the counter of support associated with the key controlling the activation of the actuator in the direction opposite to the direction controlled by the key on which the particular support has been carried out may be incremented by in such a way that the sum of the values stored in the counters reaches a predefined value causing the end of the inhibition period.
  • the actuator generates a feedback such as for example by a slight movement of the mobile element to warn the installer or the user performing configuration operations that they have been made.
  • this feedback occurs during the last part of the validation sequence.
  • the feedback must be done during a press on one of the keys otherwise the actuator is not powered.
  • the movement of the actuator is allowed, although it is done during the inhibition period. Indeed, it is not a response to a command order of the user, but a control command generated at the engine control electronics unit.
  • the short presses on the control keys can only be considered for the validation of a position insofar as the current position is a particular position such as for example an end position. race or an intermediate position.
  • the configuration phase can be marked with a configuration flag. If this indicator is active, that is to say if the device is partially or is preferably completely configured, the presses on the control keys will immediately give rise to a movement of the movable element, unless the it is in a particular position. In this case, it will be necessary to maintain the support for a duration greater than the predetermined duration t1 so that it is interpreted as a movement order. A support of a duration less than the predetermined duration t1 will be considered as a signal for setting configuration mode of the device.
  • the engine start is necessarily delayed by the predetermined duration t1.
  • a first step 100 the user brings the movable element up.
  • the use of timers of the order of one second allows easy reproduction by the user of the validation sequences. Moreover, the duration of the supports necessary for the reproduction of these sequences make it practically impossible for these to be reproduced inadvertently.
  • a step 130 the user controls the rotation of the motor in one direction or the other until the movable element reaches the new selected high end position.
  • the validation sequence ( ⁇ ) corresponds to a brief press on the key 3b followed by two validation supports on the same key, the supports validation having a duration between t3 and t4.
  • the number of validation supports making it possible to modify the content of the memory may also be different from two, in particular greater than two, to further secure the values recorded against the unwanted maneuvers.
  • the movement commands are the same as the movement commands outside the configuration sequence.
  • the validation sequences of the different settings are all the same length. However, it is expected that certain sequences (for example a sequence to return to a default configuration) are longer in the first embodiment of the method.
  • the electronic control unit manages the reconfiguration of the position as described above.
  • the electronic control unit measures the duration of the support and restarts a support counter maintained for a period between t3 and t4. If a number of supports is detected, a different configuration such that a default configuration is validated.
  • a first step 200 the user briefly presses one of the buttons of the control box. This action has the consequence of resetting, in a step 210, two counters C1 and C2 respectively associated with the two control keys 3a and 3b of the control box and to trigger, in a step 220, a period of inhibition.
  • a step 230 the user presses a button on the control box. This support is tested at a test step 240.
  • step 200 If the support is performed on the same control key as that of step 200, it is checked in steps 250 and 260 that its duration is greater than the duration t3 and less than the duration t4. If this is not the case, the inhibition period is ended at a step 290 and, at a step 300, each of the counters C1 and C2 is incremented beyond a predefined value n. If this is the case, it is verified in a test 270 that the sum of the values stored in the counters is not greater than a predefined value. We then check at test 310 whether the sum of the values stored in the counters is equal to the preset value n.
  • a step of adjusting the directions of rotation of the actuator associated with the control keys is confirmed in a step 320, the inhibition period is ended in a step 330 and an increase is made in a step step 340, each of the counters C1 and C2 beyond the preset value n. If, at the level of a test 310, the sum of the values stored in the counters is strictly greater than the predefined value n, the inhibition period is ended at a step 350 and, in a step 360, each of the counters C1 and C2 beyond the preset value n.
  • step 370 the value of counter C1. If its value is null, that is to say if there was, between the brief support of step 200 and that of step 230, no validation support that allowed the incrementation of the counter C1 linked to the key actuated during step 200, the inhibition period is ended in a step 430 and the command associated with the key actuated in a step 230 is executed in a step 440. On the other hand, if the value the counter C1 is non-zero, it is verified during steps 380 and 390 that the duration of the support of step 230 is greater than the duration t3 and less than the duration t4.
  • the inhibition period is ended at a step 450 and, at a step 460, each of the counters C1 and C2 is incremented beyond a predefined value n. If this is the case, validating in a step 400, a setting operation of the rotational directions of the actuator associated with the control keys, the inhibition period is ended in a step 410 and an increment is incremented. step 420, each of the counters C1 and C2 beyond the preset value n.
  • those skilled in the art have known techniques for recognizing the configuration, for example by allocating in the memory a flag or flag relating to each of the pre-recorded configurations.
  • This indicator is set high for all potentially valid configurations at a given time given the support already made. As we go through the recognition process, some configurations are eliminated and the corresponding indicators go low. As soon as no indicator is no longer in the high state, one leaves the state of inhibition. One also leaves the state of inhibition if only one indicator is in the high state, but by exploiting the information resulting from the valid sequence thus identified.
